Tinubu’s wife made this appeal when she received the female Senators and Members of the House of Representatives who paid a courtesy visit to her at the State House, Abuja on Wednesday.
The First Lady, Tinubu said, “When men are in the position of power, they do not see gender, so you as women should not fight a man who does not see gender when fighting for power”.

“As a former Lawmaker, please work together, irrespective of party affiliation because the success of the nation depends on this”, Tinubu’s wife advised the female lawmakers.
She urged the women to be teachable, learn new things and try those new things as this would give them an advantage in the discharge of their responsibilities as Lawmakers and women in particular.
